Hello,

have tried to set custom markers in a streetview panorama. Works fine.
Now I'm curious if it is possible to create markers (and polylines/
polygons) with different altitudes. This would be very cool.

Not currently. It's something I'd like to see, too.

Sascha,

I'm struggling a bit with how the size of the markers diminish
with perspective in streetview.

Do you have any suggestions for flattening the perspective, so all
markers are the same size?

thanks
Joe

Hi Chris,

thanks for the answer.
Hopefully Google will develop a way/interface to create 3D markers for
streetview. This would allow us to create some kind of really exciting
(pseudo-)AR stuff.
Maybe this is already possible by overlaying a WebGL view on a
streetview panorama and synchronizing both by requesting POV data from
steetview pano. Does anybody have tried this so far?
